Thanks George

Thanks,
The weather we were in, the rain and stuff, was light, and we used the radar to keep pointed away from the heavy stuff. Mostly it was fluffy clouds which Kathryn does not like. But, when we were clear of all that, and saw lightning, it scared her like crazy.
We learn. Sometimes it cost us a lot to learn. ATC was reporting storms south of us, and nothing in our area. Would a storm scope have helped? Maybe, but if these were the first strikes, it wouldn't have warned you that they were developing.
The best lesson, is stay away from it. Oh, and stay current on the instrument stuff!!!
